I stylized some photos of some of my past and current cats over the last several days and thought I would share them. This post has my cat ^Itchy^. He left me in 2004 from cancer and was only 7. He loved to lay under the Christmas tree and was my official Christmas cat. :)

I have 2 dogs and 22 foster kitties. Some of whom I’ve adopted. Special needs usually stay with me. I have cat houses built for the fosters to go in and out of.

Oh! And I’m taking care of my mother in law’s dog since she broke her arm. This is her pup.

Bless you. The most I ever had at once was 7 and 2 special needs cats. Thank you so much for fostering and caring for the animals!

This is Casper, our 9 year old Goffin’s Cockatoo (Cacatua goffiniana.) My wife and I adopted him 6 years ago through a parrot rescue organization. His species is native to the Tanimbar Islands, which are located between Australia and Indonesia. Casper’s currently going through a molt, so his feathers are kinda ratty. Cockatoos are extremely intelligent. Within a week after we brought him home, he figured out how to open his cage door. He can, and does talk, though his voice isn’t as clear as an African Grey, or an Amazon parrot.

The larger parrots can be enormously fun and entertaining. But they’re not for everyone. They need large, floor standing cages. Which aren’t cheap. They’re messy eaters, and will throw out food they don’t like. They crave attention, and need hours out of their cage every day. If they’re not getting it, they can scream loud enough to wake the dead. If Casper stays healthy, he can live another 30 years or more. He could outlive my wife and me. So we had to include him in our estate plan. Parrots can be terrific pets which you can love for decades. But they’re also a major, long term commitment.

Too sad, a lot to handle. I can't think on those I've lost without crying.
